Muang Kulaypan Hotel, Koh Samui, Thailand

The designer of the hotel, profoundly inspired by the tale of Inao, has created a unique architectural style blending Zen form with Southern Siam and the life style reminiscent of its people. The large, central garden lends a palatial atmosphere fitting the inspiration while terraces and walkways are dotted with sculptures and aged bonsai trees alongside custom furnishings designed by the architect M.L. Archava Varavana.

All accommodations excepting a few rooms enjoy a panoramic view of the sea. Ground floor rooms include a private garden in the back while upstairs rooms enjoy a private balcony. Bathrooms are equipped with the highest quality fixtures and designer beds reflect a blending of Asian culture with contemporary design.

42 rooms are completed in an exquisite fashion combining Thai style comfort and modern amenities, embellished with a touch of art.

Honeymoon Deluxe rooms are furnished with a king-size bed enclosed in a black mosquito net, a tradition of the Leu people in northern Thailand.

The Deluxe rooms feature a Japanese-style bed placed on a stage while a uniquely designed bed has been placed in each room of the Superior category.
